14 Configure for National Language Support (NLS)

In order to support a language that contains multi-byte characters, perform the following:

• Section 14.1, "Configuring OC4J to Handle Multibyte Characters in Online Web Applications"

14.1 Configuring OC4J to Handle Multibyte Characters in Online Web Applications

If you have an application that uses multibyte characters and runs in online mode, you need to configure the default-charset element to the machine locale in the OC4J global-web-application.xml file to allow multibyte characters. For example, a Japanese machine should have its locale set to the Shift_JIS locale in the OC4J global-web-application.xml file to allow Japanese multibyte characters, as follows:

<orion-web-app
   deployment-version="1.0.2.2"
   jsp-cache-directory="./persistence"
   temporary-directory="./temp"
   servlet-webdir="/servlet/"
   default-charset="Shift_JIS">
</orion-web-app>

The global-web-application.xml file can be found in the ORACLE_HOME/mobile_oc4j/j2ee/home/config directory. For more information on the elements in the global-web-application.xml file, see the Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE Servlet Guide.
